Edge of the World Saudi Arabia, Riyadh Trips

The Edge of the World (its real name is Jebel Fihrayn), one of Saudi’s most popular tourist destinations, got its nickname from the uninterrupted view of the horizon it offers atop its 300-meter-high cliffs, which overlook the surrounding plain. It’s part of the much longer Tuwaiq escarpment, and drops down roughly 305 meters into an ancient ocean bed. From the top of the cliffs, you’ll spot dried rivers weaving across the land and may even see camels moving far below — an ancient caravan route once passed through these grounds.

⭐⭐ Quality Guarantee ⭐⭐ Edge of the World is an exciting ride from Riyadh, from the moment you start your tour, your guide will give you full attention. Take a ride on the overlook and enjoy the sunset and the Arabian session. The trip will be run by very professional locals who know the desert very well, with over 10 years of experience in running desert activities for tourists.

How the Edge of the World Was Formed

The cliffs are the result of tectonic movement of the Arabian plate toward the northeast caused by the spread of the Red Sea rift 1,000 kilometers to the west of the Tuwaiq escarpment. The clear cut it carved reveals the layers of sediments that accumulated there when the eastern part of the Arabian Peninsula was a shallow tropical sea during the Jurassic period (150 million years ago). As you walk along the path, keep an eye out for fossils, a vestige of when the region was part of an ocean bed. As you’re capturing the views around you, take pictures of any fossils you may come upon, as you will not be allowed to take these artifacts out of the area.

There, people carved texts and drawings of animals and people that date back 8,000 years.After another hour of driving, we explore some wadis surprisingly full of trees and surrounded by mountains, where we found more fascinating rock paintings that we will reveal to you.
